Theorycrafting Mega Thread

[gezus]

Just a collection of resources I have found over the years playing wow. heavy into Theory crafting and having played "Every" available class in game, I have built quite a collection of Theory crafting information. Feel free to Comment, however if you would like to see a change or addition send it in a PM rather than messing the thread up with a pile of random links. :P

+Rep if your contribution is legit and gets added to the list :P

I decided to post this for three reasons.

1) To help newer people learn how to play there class, and STOP wiping the group.

2) To get a discussion started aout theorycrafting. (Feel free to add to the list.)

3) cause I havn't seen a post like this here. (confused on the rules in regards to this post)
